TASHKENT -- The New York Times named Uzbekistan one of its 52 Places to Go in 2019.

"If you have ever wanted to travel the Silk Road, now may be the time to go," reported the Times, adding that Uzbekistan "is finally going through its own perestroika". The Times praised reforms like visa liberalisation, "better official exchange rates" and more flights.

The London Guardian also named Uzbekistan one of its "top 40 destinations worth checking out this year".
